And so then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

"Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?"

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--he said to the paralytic--

So then, the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

And he entered into the synagogue again, and a man who had a withered hand was there.

And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored.

But no one is able to enter into the house of a strong [man] [and] plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong [man], and then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting [there] clothed and in his right mind--the one who had had the legion--and they were afraid.

And those who had seen [it] described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs.

And [as] he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed began to implore him that he could go with him.

And [when] the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard [him] were amazed, saying, "Where did this man [get] these [things]? And what [is] this wisdom that has been granted to this man, and the miracles such as these performed through his hands?

And he commanded them that they take along nothing for the journey except only a staff--no bread, no traveler's bag, no money in their belts--

And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they were imploring him that he would place his hand on him.

And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought to him a blind man and implored him that he would touch him.

And he took hold of the blind man's hand [and] led him outside the village, and [after] spitting in his eyes, he placed his hands on him [and] asked him, "Do you see anything?"

And he began to teach them that it was necessary [for] the Son of Man to suffer many [things] and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise.

For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one [the things] that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

And he said to them, "Elijah indeed does come first [and] restores all [things]. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man that he should suffer many [things] and be treated with contempt?

for he was teaching his disciples and was telling them, "The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And [when he] is killed, after three days he will rise."

And they asked him if it was permitted for a man to divorce [his] wife, [in order to] test him.

So they said, "Moses permitted [a man] to write a certificate of divorce and to send [her] away."

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles.

but to sit at my right hand or at [my] left is not mine to grant, but [is] for those for whom it has been prepared."

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life [as] a ransom for many."

And Jesus stopped [and] said, "Call him." And they called the blind man [and] said to him, "Have courage! Get up! He is calling you."

And Jesus answered him [and] said, "What do you want {me to do} for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may regain [my] sight."

And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple [courts] [and] began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple [courts], and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.

The baptism of John--was [it] from heaven or from men? Answer me!"

But if we say, 'From men'"--they were afraid of the crowd, because they all looked upon John {as truly a prophet}.

And he began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence [around it], and dug a trough for the winepress, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.

"But in those days, after that tribulation, 'the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light,

And then they will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds with great power and glory.

It is like a man away on a journey, who left his house and gave his slaves authority--to each one his work--and to the doorkeeper he gave orders that he should be on the alert.

And [when] they heard [this], they were delighted, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how he could betray him conveniently.

And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him,

For the Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! [It would be] better for him if that man had not been born."

And Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven."

And he began to curse and to swear with an oath, "I do not know this man whom you are talking about!"

And they forced a certain man who was passing by, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), who was coming from the country, to carry his cross.
